The Diocese of Lancaster is celebrating its centenary year during 2025. To mark this special occasion, a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes is touring each Catholic primary and secondary school in the Diocese.

The statue visited our school on Friday 13th June, delivered by the pupils from St Bede's Primary School. Our RE Leads created a grotto in the school hall for the statue to be displayed on during the time here. To show reverence to the statue, we had a whole school assembly to welcome Our Lady to St Cuthbert's and children created prayers which were laid by Our lady's feet and then added to a collective Centenary scrapbook.

During prayer group time, the children were invited to pray the Rosary or write down further prayers and intentions to Mary. 

On Wednesday 18th June, our RE Leads and Pastoral Lead delivered the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes to St Margaret Mary's Catholic Primary School who joined us in a prayer.
